​Stacey Hessler is a 38-year-old mother of four from Florida who was so inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement she moved to Zuccotti to join the protestors. Hessler made the trip almost two weeks ago and has been living in the park ever since. The New York Post reports she "ditched her banker husband and four kids," but would the paper turn Hessler into some sort of caricature? Why, they would never do that to the "Flower-power flake," as she is described in the headline that graces the top band of the Post's website when you open the story.

​Ellas Anthony McDaniel, the son of legendary rhythm and blues artist Bo Diddley, was arrested Friday morning in a park named after his father while participating in the Gainesville, Florida offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street protests.

​Last year, Warren and Maureen Nyerges, a retired couple in Naples, Florida, were hit with a mistaken foreclosure lawsuit by the Bank of America (remember, it's the Bank of Satan).

Yesterday, their lawyer and a couple cops went into the local BofA branch and threatened to start taking furniture unless the manager cut a check for the $2,534 in lawyer's fees right then and there. It worked!

​It could always be worse. For instance, you could live in Florida. You could come home on Saturday afternoon after a night out to find that a 7-foot alligator has broken into your house and been hanging out in the guest bathroom all night long, leaving blood and a mess in its wake. It could hiss at you. It could be a 7-foot alligator. It may have been watching you for weeks.
